Chapter 34: Conditions
...
In the meeting that just took place, the latter conversation became a bit smoother since the old man finally believed that they were not really human.
Think about it. Which human could bring people elsewhere in a matter of seconds without them noticing?
“So what are you two?” Armand managed to ask after regaining control over his slightly trembling lips.
He asked because, although it was nighttime, the two did not appear like ghosts in his eyes. Armand only reached his current age with so many ups and downs in his life, but this was the first time he encountered people like them whose appearances can't get captured by the lens.
He was looking to his right side.
They were now in his personal working office, and the monitor atop the desktop connected to the surveillance cameras showed that the faces of the two people before him were featureless. And oh, it was not that they had no eyes, brows, nose, and lips.

...Ley only let Hana heal the old man when the latter signed the contract and promised to be their buyer and distributor for whatever products they would offer in the future. He said 'whatever products' since this might not be limited to gold. There were various commodities that could be exported from Ophir. Even if those things were not transported over, Ley was not lacking in ambition, so he would surely venture to other businesses. Hana too had a high likelihood of dabbling into pharmaceutical work, and might develop some skincare products, herbal medicine, etc. Armand’s side would have to distribute everything to potential consumers and help in whatever ways he could.
The Ascension Chapter 36: The Day After
...Hana woke up around 9 am. It was a rare sunny morning of their country's usually rainy June.When she walked down the small staircase, the first person she looked for was, as usual, Ley. She caught sight of him seated comfortably in the living room, and he was watching some sort of movie. For her, who had quite the meticulous and no-nonsense image in her mind, it was quite unbelievable. Her eyes widened a bit and her mouth formed a small 'o' for a while.‘So he’s not thinking of work all the time.’ The girl then giggled, finally remembering that the guy was only three to four years older than her. She teased, “How come the family head is idling away now?”With a tap of his finger, he paused the funny stand-up comedy playing on the screen. He did this all instinctively, alarmed by the girl’s voice.Ley looked up sideway. His eyes were seemingly asking, 'Family head? Who?'As she was wearing her outdoor shoes, her footsteps echoed loudly. Her eyes were on the ground as she carefully
The Ascension Chapter 37: The Visit
...Ley wished for the visitors to arrive before 4 pm and somehow, it happened. Armand Razon was escorted outside by a man in his early to mid-forties. There were no other people who came with them. The middle-aged man served as a driver and an assistant. But given their resemblance to each other, it was not hard to guess that they were father or son, or close relatives. The old man roamed his eyes around. A hint of disbelief flickered across his eyes as he found something a bit unbelievable. Those miracle-makers lived in this place?It was a large bungalow house with a partial second floor built into a sloped roof that could not look any more normal from the outside. Verandahs and gardens surrounded the main building. The wires outside indicated that it was dependent on electricity and internet provider... And that was it. Armand was a bit unsettled because from the outside, it looked like only a normal above average family lived in it. He could not help but mumble, "What a humble
The Ascension Chapter 38: Blunder
...Only when Ley visited his parents again, or more like, took a glimpse of them from afar that he realized the great blunder he had just committed.The realization made him very unsettled, so instead of going to the bridge near the mall after leaving the Baler's mansion, he paid the Razons a visit.
The Ascension Chapter 39: Worries
...As it was still early, Ley did not go to the bridge or the hospital. He also did not lead his adoptive sister to the churches to advertise their version of holy water. No. That would definitely only invite trouble or fierce scolding from the priests and pastors. As deities themselves, it also sounded like stupidity to give authentic miracle items to devotees of other religions.“Brother Ley, it’s weird. It’s drizzling even though the sun is still up.”&ldq

...Midnight came. The large road accident that happened at the City of the Pines was naturally broadcasted nationwide and those in the faraway capital did not miss the news.“Grandpa Fernando and Sam!” At the living room, the shocked Hana stood up and her voice trembled when she yelled the names of those two.

...Two hours later, Ley and Hana sneakily jumped down from the aircraft landing in a street. The pilot was still hellbent on flying them to the other airport in the neighboring province and had no idea about what was happening in the passenger seats. He did not notice their mind-boggling departure. He did not see how they jumped off without wearing parachutes, and they simply relied on their physical capabilities to resist the frigid temperature, the air pressure, the fear, and everything associated with their suicidal moves.
